Filter your social feed by topic
Choose what you want to see more or less often, then check what your rules catch.

An account you follow for design tips also posts match reactions. You still want the design tips. Topic filtering gives you a more specific rule to try: show me more about design and less about match results.
Write down what belongs in the feed
Choose a topic you want to make easier to find. “Usability testing examples” is easier to check against real posts than “work.” Then pick a topic you want to see less often, such as transfer rumours during a work session. Look for topic preferences on the platform or in the browser tool you use. Use the nearest available control and keep a direct route to any account you rely on.
Check posts that fit two topics
A post about a football club's ticket checkout might fit both sports and product design. Read a few of the posts a rule catches before broadening it. If a useful one gets caught, narrow the rule to what actually distracts you. “Transfer rumours” leaves room for more than a blanket “sports” rule.
Review the result on your next visit
Open the feed with a clear task. Can you find an example you would save or use? Are unrelated posts still getting in the way? Adjust one rule at a time so you can tell what made the difference.
Choosing the subjects you want to see is part of how BOSLA AI approaches feed control. Start with a real post you would keep and a real post you would skip. They make better examples than a long list of topics.
